Not many names conjure up such emotion like Death Valley does, although the valley has quite a vibrant history. Only a two hour drive from Las Vegas, this is one of the more accessible National Parks, but is only the 19th most visited. Encompassing more than 5000 square miles, the park is larger than Connecticut and is the largest U.S. National Park outside of Alaska.

An abundance of Joshua Trees and unusual rock formations make form a unique landscape along the confluence of the Mojave and Colorado deserts.
Nevada’s first and largest state park is almost completely unknown outside of the state, but it deserves the recognition of a national park. This is one of the last truly hidden gems. This small state park is still relatively popular so finding parking spots requires patience, and taking a photo without a stranger in it can be a challenge, but this park is more than worth the short drive from Las Vegas. This is an absolute must do if you’re in/near Las Vegas. It is less than an hour outside of Las Vegas and full of incredible natural features. You can see a few sights in an afternoon or take the entire day. It is worth every minute you spend in the park. You would never imagine there were so many treasures within a state park.
